Transferring Music Collection
Has anyone been able to transfer their Music Collection from another BMW to the Bowers & Wilkens audio system in the X7? I downloaded the onto a thumb drive and I'm able to transfer to another BMW, but the B&W doesn't recognize any audio files on the thumb drive?

I was able to transfer part of my collection, but it took several attempts. I copied mine to an external hard drive. The transfer was going slowly, so I walked away for a while. When I came back, it said 100%, but only about half the files actually made it. I think there may be a either a limit on the number of files, or a folder naming restriction (none of the files in folders that started with an "_" were transferred, but those were not the only ones missing). I was going to retry again (with renamed folders), but work is interfering with my play time at the moment.

I finally got a chance to transfer the rest of my collection. I'm still not sure if renaming was necessary, or if it was just a reduced number of files in the source folder hierarchy.
I have looked into Tidal, but haven't convinced myself to make the switch to streaming yet. I guess I'm just old school and prefer to have a physical copy of my favorite music. Plus I don't have to worry about losing connections when driving through areas with spotty service (like much of west Texas and New Mexico). I agree about the B&W system in the X7. It's one of the best in-car systems I've heard, and I've tried most of them. It's second only to the Burrmeister in the Mercedes (though I've heard the Rolls Royce is even better, not likely I'll have a chance to audition that one). |

With Tidal or Spotify you can download on to your phone any songs or albums you like and you will enjoy listening to your favorite tunes anywhere you travel! Including Tidal Master recordings that are clearly superior than any Spotify music.
